The seventh episode of the first season of the anime series K is titled "Key." The episode starts with Mikoto Suoh, the Red King, leaving his hideout to confront Reisi Munakata, the Blue King. Munakata reminisces about how he and Suoh used to be friends when they were younger, but their differences caused them to drift apart. Meanwhile, the other members of HOMRA are worried about Mikoto's safety and decide to follow him.
However, they are intercepted by the notorious Scepter 4, which is headed by Munakata. The two groups engage in a fierce battle, but Munakata subdues the HOMRA members with ease, leaving only Yata and Fushimi, who manage to escape.
Meanwhile, Mikoto confronts Munakata, who reveals that he has the "Dresden Slate," a powerful artifact that allows its wielder to control the power of the Kings. Munakata explains that he intends to use the slate to maintain balance between the different clans and prevent any further bloodshed.
Mikoto is outraged by Munakata's words and tries to take the slate from him, but he is quickly overpowered by Munakata's superior skills. As Mikoto lays injured on the ground, Munakata asks him if he is willing to entrust the future of the clans to him and the slate.
Back at HOMRA's hideout, Anna, the Red Clansman's medium, senses that Mikoto is in danger and decides to go after him. Yata and Fushimi also plan to rescue their leader and join forces with Anna.
The trio discovers Mikoto lying injured on the ground and rush to his side. However, Munakata and his men appear soon after, and a final battle between the two Kings ensues. The outcome of this battle will determine the fate of the clans and the future of the Dresden Slate.
Overall, "Key" is a thrilling and action-packed episode that highlights the political intrigue and power struggles that underlie the world of K. It also explores the complicated relationships between the various clans and their leaders, and how their pasts have shaped their present actions. Fans of the series will not want to miss this pivotal episode.
